Technical Field The present invention relates to a communication system, and more particularly, to an error detection code generating method and an error detection code generator in a mobile communication system.
Background Art Typically, radio communication systems for transferring packet data use physical channels, such as, Packet Data Channel (hereinafter referred to as PDCH), Packet Data Control Channel (hereinafter referred to as PDCCH) and so forth.
The PDCH is a channel for use of ttransferring packet data that actually needs to be transferred to a relevant terminal, mobile station or user (hereinafter being used interchangeably). Many users prefer the PDCH based on the Time Division Multiplexing system (hereinafter referred to as TDM system). The PDCCH
contains control information, enabling a terminal to receive the data being transferred through the PDCH without error.
Figure 1 illustrates a control message format and a number of information bits transmitted through PDCCH according to a related art for a TDM system. The ARQ (automatic request) channel identifier and subpacket identifier are binary inforination bits informing the terminal of whether information including PDCH
corresponding to PDCCH is to be retransmitted or not. The encoder packet size is
-2-binary information bits informing a data information bit number transmitted on PDCH. The MAC identifier is a terminal identifier, and values except (000000)2 indicate that control information of PDCCH is transferred to which terminal.
When a base station transfers packet data using TDM system, or schedules data and later sending the data to each terminal in sequence, the packet data, which is transmitted to every terminal, always uses all of the available resources, e.g., Walsh codes, in the PDCH. Even when only a part of the available resources needs to be used, all of the resources are still used for the packet data. As a result thereof, most of other resources are wasted at the same time.
For example, data sent on PDCH need to be coded and decoded based on Walsh codes. Serial bits are converted to parallel, and the parallel bits are coded using the Walsh codes. In order to decode the data, the information regarding the Walsh codes is sent on the PDCCH.
In TDM system, there are plurality of time intervals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc, and only one of a plurality of terminals is allotted for each time interval where a PDCH
and PDCCH are sent to the terminal during this allotted time interval. For example, if there are users 1 and 3 and time intervals 1 and 3, respectively, and if all 32-ary Walsh codes are available for use by terminal 1, all 32-ary Walsh codes are utilized in the PDCH during time interval 1. However, if the available Walsh codes decrease in time interval 3, all decreased Walsh codes are utilized for the PDCH. Even before terminal 3 can use the changed/decreased Walsh codes in time interval 3, it needs to know this information. In order to achieve this, the BS broadcasts such information using a Walsh Code Space Identification Identifier (WSI) field in the PDCCH

And , the base station etiplicidy transmits s control message -including tIiIACID to the terminals on PDCCH.
A base station regularly or irregularly broadcasts \VSI on the PDCCH.IVvithout the PDCH to all terininals under its management. In the course of the broadcast, d.le base station uses every possible power for all terininals (even including terminals in the worst environment) to be able to receive tlte information such that even the terminals in the worst environment can receive the \Y/SI. Hence, the broadcasting consumes mucli power. Moreover, when the WSI change, the base station has to inform the changes to all terininals evzry time. In those cases, the base station cannot transmit PDCH, so the transmission efficiency of the entire systein is consequently reduced.

Walsh code is a common name of codes having orthogonality to each other and used for transmitting physical channels.
-9-Walsh code space is a set of Walsh codes available for the current use when a base station transmits packet data, and elements thereof vary in accordance with time.
PDCH(i) means isl PDCH if at least two PDCHs are available for use. In this case, each of PDCHs divides to use Walsh codes in Walsh code space.
PDCCH(i), if it is possible for at least two PDCHs to exist, is a common name of a physical channel including control information that a base station transmits to terminals in order to receive PDCH(i) successfuIly.
The present invention related to a packet data transmission system of a TDM/CDM system, whereby a plurality of PDCHs and PDCCHs exist. Hence, expressions of PDCH(i) and PDCCH(i) are used in the following description. In other words, when PDCCH(1), PDCCH(2),..., PDCCH(N) and PDCH(1), PDCH(2),..., PDCH(N) exists, PDCCH(i) indicates PDCCH that the base station transmits to the terminal to receive PDCH(i) successfully.
Figure 2 illustrates the format of the Packet Data Control Channel (PDCCH) Message in accordance with the preferred embodiment (described hereinafter), over the PDCCH, e.g., forward PDCCH (F-PDCCH). The message format of the PDCCH includes an additional field called Walsh Code Allocation (WCA) field (e.g., CDM Walsh space Identification (CWSI) field/ (Last Walsh Code Index (LWSI) field), which preferably prevents wasted power consumption caused by broadcasting, and eliminates such broadcast. Even if broadcasting is used, the additional field of WCA field reduces the inefficiencies of a prescribed system. The description of the fields illustrated in Figure 2 and the various implementation of the WCA field can be found in U.S. Patent No. 7,376,076 filed September 30, 2002.
This message format can be used in both a TDM system, i.e., nne PDCH:
physical channel and one PDCCH physical channel xvithin a prescribed time inteL-val 5 and uses the available Walsh codes, and a Code Division \lultiplex (CDNI) system, i.e., a pli.rrality of PDCH(i) physical channels and a plurality of PDCCH(i) phi-sical channels, where i is an integer number that is greater than or equal to 0 , within a prescribed period of time and the pluralitlr of users are assigned to a plurality of physical channels by allocation of the Walsh codes vrithin the Walsh code space.

10 In comparing the fields (EP_SIZE, ACID, SPID, h/IAC_ID, and WCA) of Figure 1(EP_SIZE, ACID, SPID, and TVL-1C_ID) and Figure 2(EP_SIZE, ACID, SPID, yLAC_ID, and WCA), the number of information bits has increased from 13 bits to 20 bits. With the addition of the WCA field, the number of bits for the PDCCH in TD1\1/CDtiI mode increased, resulting in more power consumpriori.
Hence, there is a need to decrease the number of information bits of the PDCCH
fields.
Three following approaches may be used for reducing the number of information bits of the PDCCH:
Metl-iod 1 is to use explicit 8 bits Iv1AC_ID and add 8 bits CRC (cyclic redundancy check code), xvhich is a class of linear error detecting codes which generate parity check bits by finding the remainder of a polynomial division, for error detection.
Hence, there is a need to decrease the number of information bits of the PDCCH
fields.
Three following approaches may be used for reducing the number of information bits of the PDCCH:
Metl-iod 1 is to use explicit 8 bits Iv1AC_ID and add 8 bits CRC (cyclic redundancy check code), xvhich is a class of linear error detecting codes which generate parity check bits by finding the remainder of a polynomial division, for error detection.
-11-1Vlethod 2 is to mask the 16 bits CRC with the implicit user MAC_ID and not to transmit the MAC_ID.
Method 3 is to use a`double CRC', wherein a first CRC is masked by 8 bit implicit MA.C_ID and a second CRC is added with the first CRC and the MAC_ID
is not transmitted.
The advantage of method 1 is that the maximum number of blind decodings of the forward PDCCH (F-PDCCH) is limited to 4, while method 2 requires a maximum of 6 blind decodings of F-PDCCH. Therefore, method 1 may be a preferred solution in terms of mobile complexity. The advantage of method 2 is that the UDER (UnDetected Error Ratio) performance is better than method 1 due to the increased CRC length.
Method 3 is a hybrid of method 1 and method 2. if two PDCCHs are supported by a system and the PDCCHs have three types of transmission format, Method 3 will provide approx.imately the same UDER performance as method 2, while maintaining the same level of mobile station complexity. Since the complexity of method 1 and method 3 is similar, it is reasonable to choose a method that provides better performance. Hence, the preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes method 3 for reducing the number of bits of the PDCCH.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, which uses the third method, Figure 3 illustrates the message format of PDCCH when the number of bits of WALSH_MASK, EXT MSG TYPE and RESERVED fields equals 0 (see co-pending U.S. Application Serial No. 10/259,292). As shown therein, the number of

Hence, the preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes method 3 for reducing the number of bits of the PDCCH.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, which uses the third method, Figure 3 illustrates the message format of PDCCH when the number of bits of WALSH_MASK, EXT MSG TYPE and RESERVED fields equals 0 (see co-pending U.S. Application Serial No. 10/259,292). As shown therein, the number of
-12-bits of the PDCCH is decreased to 13 bits, even with the additional sequence number field bits.
The PDCCH frame structure is shown in Figure 4 including the encoder tail bits of 8 bits. Further, the number of bits can be further reduced by decreasing the number of bits of the second CRC to be less than 8 bits, e.g., 4 bits, depending upon the system requirements. In order to generate the PDCCH frame structure, the following steps are used:
Step 1: First CRC bits are calculated based on the 13 input bits of the scrambled PDCCH and masked by the implicit `MAC_ID'; and Step 2: Second CRC bits are calculated based on the 13 input bits and the first CRC bits generated in step 1.
Step 3: Encoder Tail bits are added.
Depending upon the terminology used, the first CRC may be referred to as the outer CRC and the second CRC may be referred to as the inner CRC.
Alternatively, the first CRC may be referred to as the inner CRC and the second CRC
may be referred to as the outer CRC depending upon the terminology used. For convenience, the former will be used hereinafter in this preferred embodiment.

If only the MAC_ID(i) is used for generating the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC code, (i.e., without WCA(j), there are no special considerations/factor that need to be taken into account. However, if the WCA(j) is used with or without MAC_ID(j) by the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC generator, the following operational factors should be considered.
First Operational Consideration When N number of PDCH(i)s and N number of PDCCH(i)s are used, a terminal should recognize MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j) in order to receive PDCCH(i).
Hence, in order to receive PDCCH(i), PDCCH(j) needs to be correctly received in order to interpret WCA(j). If the interpretation of WCA(j) is wrong or incorrect, the terminal is unable to receive PDCCH(i) correctly.
Second Operational Consideration In the first operational consideration, assuming that j is (i-1), a terminal should recognize MAC identifier(i) and WCA(i-1) in order to receive the PDCCH(i). In order to receive the PDCCH(i), PDCCH(j-1) needs to be correctly received in order to interpret WCA(i-1). However, a value of WCA(0) should be determined previously, e.g., WCA (0) = (00000)2.

-21-MAC_ID/WCA-CRC generator 703 includes a MAC_ID/WCA-CRC generator 701 and a CRC generator 702. The CRC generator 702 includes transition registers.
The MAC_ID/WCA-CRC generator 701 may comprise any one of the preferred embodiments shown in Figures 8, 9, 11 and 12.
The MAC_ID/WCA-CRC generator 701 uses the PDCCH(i) input sequence of x-bits, including WCA(j) of Y-bits and a MAC identifier(i) of S-bits from its inputs so as to generate MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) of M-bits. The MAC identifier(i) is allocated to a terminal or a user intended to receive the information on the PDCCH(i).
The CRC generator 702 uses PDCCH(i), and MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) sequence to generate CRC(i) of P bits. The generated CRC(i) and MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) are connected to each other to generate the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) , which is in inputted to a following stage in the transmission chain structure of Figure 5A or Figure 5B.
Figure 14 illustrates a diagram of an output result of the error detection code addition block of Figu.re 13. The arrangement order of the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) and PDCCH(i) input sequence can be reversed. Since, the MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j) are used for generating MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i), these fields need not be transmitted to a receiving end, and the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) and PDCCH(i) sequence are transmitted to the receiving end. If the WCA(j) is not used, this embodiment is quite simila.r or the same as the embodiment of the double CRC.
First Operational Consideration of Figure 13

Figure 14 illustrates a diagram of an output result of the error detection code addition block of Figu.re 13.

Since, the MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j) are used for generating MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i), these fields need not be transmitted to a receiving end, and the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) and PDCCH(i) sequence are transmitted to the receiving end. If the WCA(j) is not used, this embodiment is quite simila.r or the same as the embodiment of the double CRC.
First Operational Consideration of Figure 13
-22-When N number of PDCH(i)s and N number of PDCCH(i)s are used, a terminal judges whether PDDCH(i) is received normally or not through a series of the following processes using the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i).
The terminal checks CRC(i) in the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) to judge whether PDDCH(i) is received correctly or not. If a transmission length of PDCCH(i) is variable, the terminal recognizes the transmission length of PDCCH(i) by checking the CRC(i). Having determined that the PDDCH(i) is correctly received, the terminal judges whether PDCCH(i) is its control channel or not using the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) in the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) as well as judging again as to whether PDCCH(i) is correctly received.
In this case, in order to check the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i), the terminal needs to know the MAC identifier(i) independently or both the MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j). In case that the terminal needs to know both the MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j), PDCCH(j) needs to be correctly received so that WCA(j) can be interpreted in order to receive PDCCH(i). If the interpretation of WCA(j) is wrong, an error will be detected when MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) is checked.
Second Operational Consideration of Figure 13 If one or more PDCCH(i)'s are simultaneously transmitted, the PDCCH(i)'s transmitted simultaneously have the same transmission length, and a specific PDCCH(k) and the rest of the PDCCH(i)s (except the specific PDCCH(k)) can have the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i)s of different structures, respectively.
Assuming that the specific PDCCH(k) is PDCCH(1), the process goes as follows. The PDDCH(1) generates the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(1) through the
The terminal checks CRC(i) in the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) to judge whether PDDCH(i) is received correctly or not. If a transmission length of PDCCH(i) is variable, the terminal recognizes the transmission length of PDCCH(i) by checking the CRC(i). Having determined that the PDDCH(i) is correctly received, the terminal judges whether PDCCH(i) is its control channel or not using the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) in the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) as well as judging again as to whether PDCCH(i) is correctly received.
In this case, in order to check the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i), the terminal needs to know the MAC identifier(i) independently or both the MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j). In case that the terminal needs to know both the MAC identifier(i) and WCA(j), PDCCH(j) needs to be correctly received so that WCA(j) can be interpreted in order to receive PDCCH(i). If the interpretation of WCA(j) is wrong, an error will be detected when MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) is checked.
Second Operational Consideration of Figure 13 If one or more PDCCH(i)'s are simultaneously transmitted, the PDCCH(i)'s transmitted simultaneously have the same transmission length, and a specific PDCCH(k) and the rest of the PDCCH(i)s (except the specific PDCCH(k)) can have the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i)s of different structures, respectively.
Assuming that the specific PDCCH(k) is PDCCH(1), the process goes as follows. The PDDCH(1) generates the overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(1) through the
-23-same process of Figure 13, and the terminal checks as to whether an error of PDDCH(1) has occurred or not through the first operational consideration.
The PDCCH(i)s, except PDCCH(1) excludes the generation process of CRC(i) of Figure 13, and an overlap MAC_ID/WCA-CRC(i) of L bits is generated by the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC generator. The terminal checks whether errors of the PDCCH(i)s have occurred or not through the first operational consideration.
Hence, the check for CRC(i) is not carried out.
Third Operational Consideration of Figure 13 In the first and second operational considerations, assuming that j is (i-1), a terminal should recognize MAC identifier(i) and WCA(i-1) in order to receive PDCCH(i). In order to receive PDCCH(i), PDCCH(j-1) needs to be correctly received so that WCA(i-1) can be correctly interpreted. Hence, a value of WCA(0) needs to be previously determined. For example, it may be that WCA(0) =
(00000)2.
Accordingly, the preferred embodiment enables operation in CDM/TDM
mode, thereby reducing waste of available sources. Moreover, the present invention uses double CRC or the MAC_ID/WCA-CRC code, thereby reducing the number of bits of the PDCCH and improving the error detection capability of PDCCH(i).
The foregoing embodiments and advantages are merely exemplary and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The present teaching can be readily applied to other types of apparatuses. The description of the present invention is intended to be illustrative, and not to limit the scope of the claims. Many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the axt. In the claims, means-plus-function clauses are intended to cover the structures described herein as
